"I am a sweet dog looking for my forever home. I am looking for a very special home that can understand my quirks and needs, a home that can help me thrive and be the best companion I can be.
My ideal home would be one that has had previous large dog experience and/or greyhound experience. I walk beautifully on a lead but in saying that, I would need a home that can handle me as I can be strong when I want. I have had a fair amount of training from my previous home but there is always room for more growth. I am super smart and a lover of all yummy foods so will pick up new things very quickly.
I can be shy when meeting new people so I would love a quiet patient home that can read when I am not comfortable. A home with no children would be best for me. Being part greyhound, I am also not suited to a home with cats or any small animals. If you think you are the home for me contact SPCA’s Canine Team for more information."

There are two 17 Buddle Road properties not far from being opposite each other for almost 12 months.
Unbelievable but true.
Of course only one is entitled to be number 17 and of course on the uneven numbers side of the street. The other is a house built with the front door entranceway path and … View moreThere are two 17 Buddle Road properties not far from being opposite each other for almost 12 months.
Unbelievable but true.
Of course only one is entitled to be number 17 and of course on the uneven numbers side of the street. The other is a house built with the front door entranceway path and letterbox supposedly in Hopkirk Ave but a shift in design produced a Buddle Road configuration. And so in Buddle Road next door to number 22 is number 17 displayed boldly on the letterbox.
The two number 17s get each others mail.
The way around is to renumber the short end of one side of Buddle Road with the even numbering and leave Hopkirk Ave without a number 17 address.
UHCC should force the housing developers or architect pay for the costs involved to current residents and to council in a transformation process otherwise this could become a sightseeing/tourist attraction. Go take a look.
A vintage print can make a great welcome sign for your home entrance way by simply adding some hand painted letters in your choice of Resene colours!

Thirty thousand nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants across the country are striking on Wednesday today for better pay, more sick leave and safer work conditions.
They will walk off the job for eight hours from 11am until 7pm.
Yep, it is not Friday but by coincidence both Andrew Gorrie and Rosa Marie visited Zealandia and photographed a stroppy tūī who did not want to share the sugar feeder.
Check out the photo of a kaka by Gorrie and the tūī by Marie. Which picture do your prefer?
So Wellington is the fourth most liveable city in the world.

But in gaining this status Wellington can also thank its immediate neighbouring cities and areas to its north accessible to a large degree by suburban rail including Upper Hutt and Martnborough.
Upper Hutt is in the throws of becoming more valuable and recognisible in this modern era as an adjunct to the Capital. There is Brewtown now and the yet to be completed sports campus and movie production facility. And in Martinborough and other parts of the Wairarapa there is world class wine production on a notable scale. All these things plus the attraction of beaches on the Kapiti Coast, help to make Wellington what it is.

Neil has been Akatārawa Cemetery’s Sexton for 42 years and despite being past retirement, is still committed to caring and maintaining the grounds.
Neil’s nominator said that he has poured his heart and soul into the cemetery, owned by Upper Hutt City Council, and has shown excellent initiative when it comes to cemetery operation.
“[Neil] is personable and knows the community well. He knows many visitors by name and is always happy to talk and support them in their time of grief. Neil has incredible commitment to the industry by his length of service and good work ethic.”
The awards were held as part of the national New Zealand Cemeteries & Crematoria Conference in Rotorua.
